Many bondage fetish fans feel the golden age of sensual bondage was the 1940's and 50's, a time when it was considered VERY taboo to express any kind of fetish or sexual norms outside the straightjacket of conventional morality (I'm speaking primarily of the United States, as Europe and Asia have always had a much more mature and open approach to human sexuality). Some of the best photographers of the genre were working during this period, Have a look at some vintage and retro examples below...

I think the addition of garters and stockings (plus those high heels!;) is what really makes these bondage poses so sensual and arrousing. There is an implied naughtiness and seduction aspect from seeing the models in their intimate lingerie, don't you think? You feel as though you're being granted a peek into a forbidden and highly sexually-charged private world. It also strikes me a funny that lot's of these pics feature the models in the bathroom, guest bedroom, the basement and even what looks to be the garage. Something that just adds to the thrill....
